Land of the Silver Birch

Listen to Michael Mitchell perform this song.  If you're a teacher or work with groups of kids, you might want to check out his CD's -- I like the "Canada is for Kids" songs

Land of the silver birch

Home of the beaver

Where still the mighty moose

Wanders at will

Blue lake and rocky shore

I will return once more

Boom-diddy-ah-da, Boom-diddy-ah-da, Boom-diddy-ah-da, bo-oo-oom

High on a rocky ledge

I¹ll build my wigwam

Close to the water¹s edge

Silent and still

Blue lake and rocky shore

I will return once more

Boom-diddy-ah-da, Boom-diddy-ah-da, Boom-diddy-ah-da, bo-oo-oom

My heart grows sick for thee

Here in the lowlands

I will return to thee hills of the north

Blue lake and rocky shore

I will return once more

Boom-diddy-ah-da, Boom-diddy-ah-da, Boom-diddy-ah-da, bo-oo-oom

Land of the silver birch

Home of the beaver

Where still the mighty moose

Wanders at will

Blue lake and rocky shore

I will return once more

Boom-diddy-ah-da, Boom-diddy-ah-da, Boom-diddy-ah-da, bo-oo-oom
